Frill 2013: Part 1

Day 1 of Frill - The Trip and Arrival

So in the beginning of the year, the head of our community decided to plan a road trip to Frill. I had never been to a lolita convention, or a convention in general so I was really looking forward to this. We planned on leaving early in the morning on May 31rst, so I ended up staying the night t my friend's house the day before. It all worked out because she helped me pack my suitcase better to ensure that everything I brought (in a medium-size suitcase and duffle bag) would fit into one.

The drive to Atlanta went pretty well. Lilly had us bring CDs to listen to in the car and we'd all take turns choosing which one to listen to. I brought a couple CDs and burned two, but the burned ones didn't play which was a shame because I had Backstreet Boys and Aqua on one.

Nova brought some pretty awesome CDs, one of them was Grimes and I remember how all of us kept commenting on how awesome Oblivion and Genesis sounded. Which reminds me, if you've never heard of Grimes, I highly recommend those two songs.

We arrived around 5 or 6, not much time for all of us to shower and get dressed for the walk around the town we were in. I was a little bummed by that but I realized that I just wanted to relax and unpack. Which reminds me, you should've seen our closet, it was glorious.

That was just one side of it. We had 6 girls in our room and enough clothes for Friday-Sunday, including outfit changes throughout those days. I alone brought several thing: IW's Ashley Embroidery, a crochet bolero, 2 blouses (1 short sleeve, 1 long sleeve), a pink handmade skirt (not handmade by me) and matching accessories, a navy blue dress, and AP's Chess Chocolate (replice by Oojia) along with matching accessories for it, brown Antaina tea parties, white Bodyline shoes, and off-brand brown boots. I admit that, like always, I definitely over-packed because I didn't end up wearing all of those things.

There wasn't much to do that evening - okay I lie, there was actually a pool party later in the evening but none of my friends were going so I chickened out. I ended up running errands with Lilly to find a steamer because she had to steam her indie brand's dresses before 11 and bring them to the consignment area. I ended up talking with my roomies and offering to help Lilly since I could tell she was stressing, but there's only so much one could do with one steamer (2 girls, 1 steamer... That just sounds awful).
